Movement Minglers is our open door. In 30 calm minutes on Discord, people from across the Moving Rasa ecosystem—curious newcomers and seasoned friends—meet, breathe, and share simple words and movements that help us feel at home in our bodies. If you are new to Discord, we will help to get you started. Light connection, zero pressure. Movement is invitational; resting counts.
*This facilitated gathering happens every Thursday at 12 p.m. EST in the #Rasa Lounge on the Moving Rasa Discord Server. It is easy to join us. If you have a Discord account, just click the link below at 12 p.m. on Thursday. If not, you will be guided to another webpage to set up a Discord account. A pop up should arise.
The title “create an account” will be at the top and a few questions
below. Feel free to explore asynchronous invitations for Moving
Rasa interaction, also available on the server. We will also be there to help you set it up
Hope to move with you soon!

Contacting Aliveness
IN-PERSON (NYC): A playful exploration into how we experience relationships to ourselves, others, place and ideas. No experience needed.
A twice-monthly indoor movement class exploring one of our six lenses—beginner-friendly, consent-centered.
In the summer time we will move outside!
Description:
Most people rarely consider how experiences of touch, mobilizing, or imagining actually feel, let alone how they become movements they have agency of to share with others and the world around them. In Contacting Aliveness classes, we take the time to quesitons how we experience the movement of life. We make this exploration playful and practical, focusing on one of the six lenses of Moving Rasa each week. They are Being in the Body, Being in Place, Mobilizing, Touching, Connecting, and Imagining.

Prime Produce in Hell’s Kitchen, New York

Testimony:
“Moving Rasa (Contacting Aliveness class) was a lifting breath and a grounded seat at the same time. It was the kind of communal connection through physical touch that I haven’t experienced in a long time, and I realized I so desperately needed.”
